Hi All,

I used to su gedit all the time  to make any changes to files that
required me to be root. I used to get this warning also

(gedit:3880): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

but it would still work. Now it stopped working. Gedit just freezes. I
have done many things since last use, so I would not have a clue how
to fix this. I am using Fedora6  64bit. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated  (exept for , "use vi").

Many Thanks,

George Hare

Just change your command line a bit.

sudo gedit file.name

You are dealing with permissions to open windows on your X windows
display.  The root account does not, and should not, have permissions to
open a window on your display.


sudo is your friend.  Logs of super user activity can be priceless. :)

Thanks for the fix Phil
